for some reason I misinterpreted the title as "Tony Robbins is Satoshi" lol. still not sure if this will have a big effect but it surely is a good news. also I see there are some people trying to promote their preferred altcoin to him.

That would be a 6ft 7in (2,01m) tall Satoshi!Monster! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Well if it will have any effect no of us knows. I myself don't expect any short jumps in price because of that. But that guy is a very good salesman, is doing great presentations and podiums, has written a really good book about finance, and is having a huge user base. Such a person can't be bad to have for promoting Bitcoin. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Okay,literally no one cares abouts Tony or his opinions about bitcoins.Just because he is rich and he has followers doesn't mean his views will make a difference.From what I notice,he is just following the new market trends and tying to expand his horizons into the cryptocurrencies for his own profits.He is not literally supporting the bitcoin but just for his profit sakes he is promoting the stuff.

So what is wrong following the new trends, the path in which things are developing and evolving? Nothing!Because that is how the world is working.Or do you still use a horse instead of a car? Or aren't you also here because you wanna make some money? Furthermore if he should talk about Bitcoin in one of his presentations(hypothetically), every interested person could be a potential new bitcoin user/holder.I see this as a positive sign. Or would you prefer if he ignores Bitcoin, or worse, is pushing payment services like apple pay or google wallet for instance?! That guy is worth half a billion dollars, so he might have a good sense for how to make money and how to make others following his path.

Agree, he is trying to support the moment and maybe he is puhsing people to start using bitcoins but how many people do you think he can influence and on what basis ? Not saying he us totally wrong and he shouldn't be doing it,its just a casual news.Besides that,there are many such rich brats who continue to use bitcoins without mentioning it to public.Moreover I would want people to use bitcoins not just because Tony is using it but they really understand the benefits of decentralization.

Have you read his blog post? My guess is he knows how Bitcoin works, at least in it's basic, what is more than enough to teach the ones who have no clue about it. So when you can accept speakers at Bitcoin and blockchain conferences trying to promote Bitcoin, spreading the word for it, like AA for instance, then you should also accept and appreciate guys like Tony Robbins, as he is talking to people outside of the crypto scene and could possibly bring them in.This is imo very important.

Well the good side is, him having enormous amount of followers on his social media accounts therefor anything he says that drive further attention regarding BTCitcoin to newer audience would be a plus but on a bad side, at the end of his article, he still mentioned that use of BTCitcoin in criminal activities (wish he didn't so as that alone would make people think twice in term of using it).

I think it's good he is speaking about the pros and cons, the ups and downs. Otherwise it would look kind of suspicious if people do some more research about Bitcoin and find out about the bad news themselves.And then they could ask themselves: "Why he hasn't told us about that?" So I say he is doing it right.Therefore people can weigh up between potential and risks.

It's all positive promotion and, for one, it's more than welcome! Let's be thankful there are people outside of the Bitcoin industry willing to promote it, otherwise most mainstream exposure would be due to negative news such as Cryptolocker and Bitcoin ransom.

Exactly, like the news that i read yesterday from this forum about the google devs, they was "promoting" bitcoin on his YouTube channel, we cant expect nothing better than that, spread the Word of bitcoin is always welcome and thats exactly what they are indirectly doing. What we should do is to retweet them too.

And when finally guys like Tony Robbins, googledevs and Ashton Kutcher for instance with huge user bases are posting about Bitcoin, we as the community should definitely show some positive reaction to that and participate with helping out to understand what others don't know regarding Bitcoin and give a few more informations when asked for. This is done in a few minutes by writing just some words and giving one or two useful more links.

If he have lots of followers, some will be interested to know what is that "economic system" he is talking about, and would learn what bitcoin is. And some could be interested about using it, and some other will buy them to speculate. All the people talking about bitcoin is positive, there is a low % of people that heard anything about bitcoin.

It's good to have some free publicity and I think that's a big marketing step for him. Not sure how this is going to turn but at least that guy is pretty famous in the US, it might be a good plus. I remember him in the movie Shallow Hal...... That's how I know him

This man has underlings that are just as powerful as him that will also jump on board. Just the fact he says anything will be spread through the twitter world. He attracts a lot of people that want to get rich and this would be right up their alley. As long as more people wake up to bitcoin their end goal is no big issue for me.

This is indeed a good thing since this is like free publicity for Bitcoin. But I don't really know much about this guy though. Hmm... I just hope he won't straight away jump to shitcoins. I mean, altcoins.
